Oh, man, that was EPIC.
The dubbing was just fine, some excellent dubs, no problem there! This is the kind of movie
that should be filmed in non-English and dubbed, it fundamentally demands it.
Opening credits, I knew this was going to be amazing when one of the producers was listed
as "Tax Shelter for the Belgium Government". Classic!

Someone said this was a hybrid of Inglorious Basterds and U-571, that's really accurate. They
tried to shoehorn in some Das Boot and Hunt for Red October tropes as well, but it didn't make
any sense at all. Don't these filmmakers ever Subsim?
Spoilers: sorry, can't really discuss without, but these are intentionally vague.
So, you can train a small group of guys to manage a submarine with a couple days of bad training?
Another underwater battle between two subs. Hey, in WWII, were any submerged subs
able to torpedo another submerged sub, solely by passive sonar? And I don't mean one was surfaced
and one was at PD, I mean 50m down, no visual bearing, range by sound alone?
Gotta love how the hydrophone operator was so precise, frequently calling out "Torpedo! Range 150 meters!"
I need this guy on my boat in Wolfpack.
So, one things I learned, if you torpedo a submerged U-boat 200m away, the thing explodes like 8 times,
and the shock waves are horrific.
When a woman shoots a rifle and blows up a destroyer, I have to say, women's rights have arrived.
Lots of throwback racist comments, stuff I haven't seen in a movie since the 60s. Of course, it was
appropriate for the time and setting in the film, but I didn't think any modern filmmakers would bring it back.
Summary: If you thought there couldn't be a movie you loved more than U-571, you're mistaken, my friend.

I cannot share your enthusiasm on this one. Yeah, the movie was good and these two hours were well spent but calling it a new/old classic its a bit exaggerating.
First of all, the movie lacks chemistry. It's like the director did not decide whether it would be a serious bit or the clinky one and therefore the movie balance in the middle without showing its full potential and character.
Secondary, I liked how they how actors handled the script but some performances were too blend and that's why the overall picture seems too uncertain.
I'll give this movie 7 out of 10 just becaye of that
